Go to Post I for one think this kind of robot "love" is absolutely inappropriate for children and both teams should have been condemned for such graphic displays. - Chris is me [more]

This slows the air leaving the cylinder (but only when moving in that direction) and a controlled drop. Just be sure to install them in the correct orientation (they usually have arrows to indicate the unrestricted flow direction). Restricting the air coming into the cylinder can sometimes lead to jerky motion.
